Author Description

Looks at the technical aspects database administrators need to become familiar with, as well as some non-technical issues, by following the transition of a fictional company into an e-business. After introducing the various type of e-businesses that are popular and providing a quick overview of the Oracle8i architecture, chapters discuss: capacity planning, architecture, and design issues; working with application developers; availability; performance; scalability; security; system testing; and deployment. Additionally appendixes discuss Web site promotion, Oracle packages that might be of some use to database administrators, and sample project plans. Annotation c.
